EVANS WILL AGAIN URGE RIGilT OF TRIAL WILL RELY ON ORDER PASSED BT JUDGE WATTS. Dispatch From Columbia Says State Will Ask Continuance-The Fel der Case. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courirr seij* o his paper on Tv.sday w'gbt a dispa:ch trr-i Co lumbia, in which he stated: "That 'Hub' Evans will not be tried at the approaching term of court in Newberry is the definite information secured here tonight. Stories out of Newberry were to the effect that Evans may not be .ried, but the information secured by this corre sponcent is the first authorized state ment that the case of the chairman of the dispensary -board will not be con cludei at this term of the court of general sessions for Newberry. "Evans is under indictment, charged with accepting rebates while he was a I member of the board. The indictment was handed out last summer. "It is learned that the btate will not go to trial in this case. A continu ance will be sought. One of the grounds will be the allegation tnat the death of G. H. Charles has changed the complexion of the case and the State can not go to trial at this time." Statement From Mr. Evans' Attorney. When asked by The Herald and News what would be the disposition of the defence in view of this state ment from Columbia, riugene S. Blease, Esq., attorney for Mr. Evans. stated that the defendant would de mand a trial, as he has done at eyery term of court since the tra bill was found. and would rely upon the order passed by Judge Watts at the last arru of court. At that term. Judge Watts. upon the third demand of the defendant for a trial,, passed an order provid,ng that the case should be nol prossed at the approaening term un ?ss the State should be ready to give Evans a trial. At the last tQrm of court the death of Mr. Charles, short ly before the court, was the ground :pon which the State asked for a con tinuance. The complexion of the case could rot have changed since tnat time, so far as the death of Mr. Char les wa:; concerned, said Mr. Blease, because that was urs,eu aa - ground for a continuance at that time. The true bill against Mr. Evans wa returned at the Jurne. 1910, term of court. Mr. Evans immediately de manded a trial, but a continuance was granted on motion of the attorney general. At the fall term and again at the spring term this year. Mr. Ev snas demanded trial, and both times the case was again continued~ on the attorney g.eneraI's motion. Upon this* showing Judge Watts granted the or der mentioned at the last term of court, the State urging that it would' have been ready, but for the death of Mr. Charles, and that it would be nec essary to surpply the link lost by his death. The Story From Columbia. The .Columbia correspondent/ of the News and Courier goes on to say: "Attorniey General Lyon was asked about the matter this afternoon. He had no statement to make for publi cation. The statement was sought from Mr. Lyon following a conference he had with Solicitor R. A. Cooper. Solicitor Cooper was asked whether the case of Evans would be tried. He replied: 1I think not.' "All positions to be taken by the IState in the request for a continuance are not known at this time, although the Charles death will figure and probably other matters brought to the attention of a circuit judge in the last few days may play a part. "It is known here that 'Hub' Evans seeks a trial. He stated when in the city yesterday that he was "demand ing, a trial in the court, which has been denied me, notwithssanding the fact that the constitutio~n of both the United States and my State guarantee Ime the right of a fair, public and speedy trial." Counsel for /Evans stated at the last term of court in Newberry that the indictment was be ing held cver Evans as a 'lash.' "I-t is also known that Attorney General Lyo-n recognizes that the de fendant has the right to a speedy trial under the corstitution, but that it is not believed to be to the State's besti interests to try the case at this term of court. "From this end of the line the New berry court. commencing Monday. is of more than passing interest. Not on ly will the 'Hub' Evans case be~ brought to some sort of head, but T. R. Felde r will probably then be in dce.A 'iispatch from Newberry to* out of State papers says that Felder ha.3 employed Newberry counsel. employed Newberry counsel. Tihe story in today's News and Cou rier. that Felder would probaoly oe indicted. crPated much interest. From! the proper officials this story has been verified today, and the list of witness es to appear is correct. The-y are: Governor Cole L. Blease, H. H. Ev ans. John Bell Towill and L. W. Boy kin. From Newberry the information is that when counsel for H. H. Evans pressed for trial at the last term of the court. the presiding judge had incorporated in his order that if the; State were not ready this time. a nol pros would be ordered. The law is that if a defendant demands trial at two separate terms of court. and the State is not ready, the defendant shall be released upon his own recogni zance. In the Evans case the defend ant is out on bond. "It is known that Attorney General Lyon does not believe this case er others in similar situation can be nol prossed, on the ground that, as was the position taken here in the Black, Towill. Boykin and Tatum cases a few days ago. it is with the circuit judge to say whether, in his discre tion, a suitable reason has been given for asking a continuance. In other words. Mr. Lyon holds the belief that each term of court is to take care of itself. Solicitor Cooper was asked! about the matter, and expressed the opinion that the matter lay largely, if not wholly with the circuit judge, in his discretion. "It can not be forecasted just what will take place at Newberry on this particular phase of the case, and. of course, it is not known just how Ju.dge Ernest Gary, who will preside, 'will view the situation. The statement from Newberry at the time of the last term of court, and within the last two days, is that Judge Watts said that the prosecution must be ready at this (June) term of court, or a nol prose would be entered, and this is said to be in the order passed granting a con tinuance. "The discussion of nol pros or no nol pros is speculative solely, but the assertion that the State will not be ready for trial and will ask a continu ance, is based upon absolute fa'ct." A Shelter for the Mother Also. Rev. A. . Cornish, rector of the Abbeville Episcopal church is doing a great work for the orphans. He looks after several orphanages of his own, situated in different parts of the State. where he has provided homes for the homeless.. In most of the orphanages the chil-! dren of a family from which the fath er has -been taken are admitted, but the mother, if living, is not allowed to enter the orphanage. Many moth ers who have no means whatever of providing for her children must send them to orphanages or allow them to suffer. She is thus deprived of their companionship and no one but the mother knows what this means. Rev. Mr. Cornish takes into his or phanages the mother with the chil dren, where she is provided w-ith work,' and taken care of. Mr. Cornish is a man of most kindly heart and realiz ing how hard it is for the mother to live without her children determined not to suffer them to be separated. In this we think the other large and rich orphanages might e.mulate the or phanages instituted and operated by! Mr. Cornish. He is doing a good work and verily he shall have his re ward.-Abbeville Press and Banner. ilappenings of Bethel Section. Prof. J. Irby Koon returned home Saturday from Springfield, where he has been teaching for the past ses sion. Mr. W. H.

It will be recalled that last Saturday they had a very good game with Clin ton. The Mollohon boys have a strong team. and Laurens has a good team, cm goodrnamlem may be expected. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider. Pastor). Nothing preventing. the following program of divine services will be ob served at the Lutheran Church of the: Redeemer next Sunday. 11.15 a. m.-The regular morning: service. The pastor will preach a short practical sermon on the sub ject: "The Revelations of God Suited! to the Needs of Life." In the Epistlei less.)ii for the day Paul exl 0in's' "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" The! lEssons will be drawn from the con crete example of Jacob. When fieeing from his home he was not afraid but lonely that night at Bethel. The fu ture was dim and uncertain, and he needed encouragement. God gave himl the vision of the -ladder and angels. Twenty years later on his way back home with his family and fortune he was afraid, and the angels of God met him on the dusty road as war riors ready to defend him. There is no lesson so precious as this: "Liod reveals Himself just as we heed Him." The Sunday school will meet now at 10 a. m. instead of 4 p. m. as for merly.
